Is Hartley becoming a better bowler than Parkinson?

I’m only watching this due to Mrs working until 8pm.
It is soul destroying. Almost a game of six or out. A bit like watching a penalty shoot out for 90 minutes.

I've not watched any of it, love cricket, but no interest in this pointless (and needless) competition.

To think we once had the likes of Benaud, Arlott and Gower commentating.
Now it’s fecking Peterson and Darrun Goff from Yarkshire.

Saw Blowers at Sale Waterside a few years back. Was a cracking night.

Dreadful game of cricket tonight. The worst I've seen in a long time.

(Yes I missed the women's bronze medal game).

Not sure we’ve had a decent one day game this summer, barring the 20/20 final.

Watching The Hundred on BBC2, the commentator is doing my nut in:(

Lancs v Worcs today in the one day cup. The latter are having a dreadful season so I’ve probably jinked this already.

Sad to hear Rudi Koetzen died in a car crash yesterday.

Always seemed a firm and fair umpire with the slow finger of death.

Very sad to hear that AHT.

Been a bad year for ex cricketers driving.

Doesn't look like it, winning at a canter really.

Rob Jones has come of age this year.

Bell looks a good find too.

Hants away on Sunday could decide who get a home semi and who has to play in quarters.

Final at Trent Bridge as the national club final is at Lord's instead same day. Clashes with wolves away.

Not sure we can play at home anyway because of the test match.

Will Smeed with the first century in the Hundred competition. 101 off 49 balls, with eight 4s and six 6s. So 68 of his runs came off 14 deliveries. That's a strike rate of 485!
